Week 20

This week, Nathan made a model of DNA and then we started a new lesson on RNA. Nathan started writing his version of the latest story he read in Literature. I’m looking forward to reading it! He also continued his art project—its almost done!!

Otherwise, it’s cold out and games kept us entertained this week! 

 

Week 19

 

This week, Nathan continued his art project by adding koi fish to his canvas. In biology, Nathan created a model for the phases of mitosis. We’re making good progress with school! In other news, Lily, Brian and I went to a Christmas pop up that is keeping decor up this month. It was very festive and fun!

Week 18

Back to school this week! Nathan started an art project by mixing a bunch of clay and pressing it on to a canvas. He enjoyed this project a lot more than the building one we tried in the fall. I’ll update when he gets the next part of the project done! We started a new read aloud and it’s a good mystery so far. It was a long week back to routine but Nathan did well even with his cough and cold. 
 

Christmas Break

We’ve had a great Christmas break! We celebrated the holidays and Nathan turned 16!! Sadly, it’s back to routine on Monday. 

 

Week 17

This week we finished up our read aloud and watched the movie, which was very accurate! Nathan rated the book 4.5/5 stars. We watched a video and then played memory with organelle cards to wrap up our Biology lesson. We did a snowball writing project, which means we took turns adding to a story. Nathan ended it unhappily, though! Our final day was just a Christmas escape room and a round of Abducktion, which he won! We have two weeks off now to enjoy the holidays!!

 

Week 16

This was a busy week! We made Christmas cookies. Nathan got his permit and it was quite the time at the dmv. Nathan made an animal cell for science. Finally, Brian and I got to enjoy a fun, Christmas-y date night! One more week of school before Christmas break and we’re ready!!

 

Week 15

We had a pretty busy week this week. We had our last supervising teacher visit for 2025! I’m biology, we used toilet paper as polypeptide chains and learned about the 4 different folding organizations. In history, we learned about Britain’s salt tax on India and Nathan made a salt painting. We are getting close to winding down things for break!
